    I'd probably be something of a builder/ "engineer."

    I'm not actually an engineer, but I have a knack for utilizing what I have around me or simple enough objects to serve other goals. I suppose I'm what people used to call a Macgyver or "mechanically inclined."

          Definitely some kind of stone bulwark at the cave entrance to keep out the bears and prehistoric cheetahs.

              Recreational drug use can be traced to before written history. Bartering also existed then. I'd be a drug dealer.

                      I guess I could build a cart/waggon for easier transporting the dead animals the other guys hunted. Not sure if that would be much appreciated or if I just would be the weird guy again.

                      Maybe a plough would be more useful.

                      And building/improving shelter.

                      I could also make a fire after failing some time I suppose.

                          I'm guessing "chisel thoughts" is more akin to painting than writing. I like the idea though, very Lascaux

                            You reckon the stuff back then was potent enough that people would buy it?

                                    I can imagine you making a rock hammer, and having to sit there and justify to people why the end has that weird flange. "It's for pulling things out!"

                                          Right, come to think of it, I definitely would be the weird guy that doesn't understand how the community works. I couldn't speak their language, wouldn't know their common practices and hierarchy.

                                          I'd likely go (be exiled) on my own lonely journey (aaand this quickly die).
